Great meal which was also great value for restaurant week. They also had 4 wines available at $12 a glass. Service is also very friendly and attentive here.

Benoit is always very good. The food, wine and service is always superb. My only possible complaint might be the noise level but it was very busy.

Excellent french onion soup on a winter day, cannot beat it. Also the best mashed potatoes I've ever had. Main dishes were filling for lunch restaurant week menu, desserts were enjoyable as well. Kind and attentive service. Love the aesthetics of the place. Quiet for lunch.
Tori
Amazing food and service. Love Benoit, and was fab to come back. Only thing is that it was a bit chilly in the restaurant, so would recommend dressing warm if you feel the cold.
Ethan
The best French restaurant in NYC. Hands down. They just do things right. Lovely linen and crystal. Silver everywhere. Superb service that cannot be improved. 10/10.
Nicholas
Everything in this restaurant is a cut above extraordinary. The food was delicious and beautifully presented and served. We ate here during New York restaurant week, so the value was unusually good, but I would say that the experience was worth well more than we were charged.

Great experience, highly recommend. It is French cuisine at its best ! Service was excellent, chill atmosphere, fantastic choice of French dishes and wine .

Benoit offers genuinely excellent French cuisine. The food is very well executed, classic, and satisfying, and the wine list is outstanding — thoughtful, deep, and a real highlight of the experience. That said, the hospitality tells a different story. As a solo diner, I could not help but feel that solo travelers are not particularly welcomed here. Service was correct but noticeably distant, lacking warmth or attentiveness. Nothing overtly rude — just an atmosphere that makes you feel invisible if you are dining alone. This is unfortunate, because Benoit could be a perfect place for solo guests: refined, calm, and serious about food. Instead, the experience feels slightly unbalanced — excellent cuisine paired with a cool, impersonal front-of-house. In short: Come to Benoit for the food and the wine, which are truly very good. Just don't expect to feel especially welcome if you are dining on your own. AE

We have loved this place for years. It never disappoints. Reliably excellent dishes, friendly and attentive service...just an overall positive vibe!

We were a group of 4 adult women who wanted a quiet evening to visit and celebrate a birthday. With many open tables in the restaurant, they seated a man & his young child next to us and the child had a loud toy playing. In the same row was another table with small children. This was disruptive to the elegant atmosphere. Most of the restaurant had tables of adults, but we ended up being in the children's section.
Thoroughly delightful experience: the delicious food, unobtrusive service and lovely atmosphere. We went for a very early (5pm) dinner and the room was quiet and peaceful.

Portions are huge (onion soup, cassoulet). I would like to pay a little less, for a little less food!
Dannia
Cute place, very unassuming. Prix fixe pre theater dinner was a great value. Nice selection and good portions. I had escargots, branzino and panna cotta. Everything was delicious and service was excellent. Nice wine list.

First time we have been to Benoit. Will definitely return. We ordered off the pre-theater menu a nd enjoyed each course. Gret meal at a great price.

 i've been to Benoit in New York and in Paris, so I was looking forward to dinner very much, but the food was just OK the escargot was only fair the fois terrine was under seasoned The cassolet had little flavor Service was rushed even though the restaurant was basically empty. The Baba au rum was nice. overall, very very disappointing.
